Bjerg argues that our current mode of economic organisation is characterised by an inherent \"debt drive\", whereby the creation of money through the issuance of commercial bank credit has locked our economy into a vicious circle of forced growth and increasing debt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eParallax of Growth\u003c\/i\u003e is not a catalogue of solutions to the ecological or the economic crisis. The book aims to shift the inquiry from \"what shall we do?\" to \"why have we not already done it?\" In order to address the challenges of our contemporary times of crisis, we need to understand how the idea of growth is deeply ingrained in the ideology as well as the organisation of our society.
